Explaining American Politics

“The
difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans
believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as
fundamentally good,” said Mr. Watts, who was in the area to campaign for
Senator Rand Paul. “We are born bad,” he said and added that children
did not need to be taught to behave badly — they are born knowing how to
do that.

“We teach them how to be good,” he said. “We become good by being reborn — born again.”

He
continued: “Democrats believe that we are born good, that we create
God, not that he created us. If we are our own God, as the Democrats
say, then we need to look at something else to blame when things go
wrong — not us.”
